"But I always made it clear to the club that I want to continue succeeding here, even more than I already have. "I've always said, 'As long as Real Madrid wants me, I'll be here.' If one day Real Madrid says to me, 'Rodry, find a team,' I'll say, 'OK.' But that hasn't happened.

"But I knew what I was going to do this season with Real Madrid, and that I'm going to be focused on giving my best. I was calm, and here I am... as always.

"I even joked with my parents and friends: 'Look, today I'm on this one, tomorrow I’m on that one.' Every week I was on a different team, but, as I said, I was very calm mentally and it didn’t affect me at all. I'll continue giving my all every day I wear this shirt." Liverpool.com says: Rodrygo is an exceptional player, but he has never really wanted to leave Real Madrid before.
